xAI Alters Grok to Suppress Criticism of Musk

Elon Musk’s AI company xAI has modified its chatbot Grok to avoid making critical statements about Musk. Earlier versions had listed him as a major spreader of misinformation, but Grok 2 and 3 now soften such claims, saying it “depends on perspective.” On topics like climate change or Trump’s anti-democratic actions, Grok increasingly dodges clear answers—unlike other AI systems such as ChatGPT or Google Gemini, which reference scientific evidence.
